Butter Almond Meltaways are light, delicate, melt in your mouth cookies. Good luck eating just one!
When you bake these cookies you will notice the color doesn’t really change. They do not turn golden to let you know they are done. They also do not change their shape much while baking, so you want to make nice round discs out of the dough when placing them on the baking sheet. Stick to the 6-7 minute baking time to achieve a nice tender cookie. Over bake them and they will be dry and crunchy. That is not what you want.
